I and many others visit this place to have fun and don't have to prove anything.
I personally go full to the right and slow down when a faster car is coming. In that way he is not annoyed, I am not annoyed (I can continue my lap as soon as he overtakes me) and everybody is happy.

On a serious note ... very well said Alex
We all go to & around the Ring to have fun, not to piss others off by careless driving
It's a seriously serious place that doesn't need any more Armco deformation then it already receives
If Barris wants to race others then there is the "CSL Cup" where his CSLfied, regular M3 will fit right in.
Just remember, the CSL CUP guys are SUPER FAST

Depends on the driver of the CSL. Its hard work driving when you have to use more than 1 arm and 1 leg

Give me a break, it was my first day out at the ring in the dry. I went last year, and it was wet and not fun at all

I knew the next day, once i put the semi slicks on, that the difference in handling was night and day. For one thing, i stopped braking for the foxhole and a few other corners that shit me up on the ps2s. If i knew the difference was so massive, i would of let you guys pass me much earlier. Sorry fellaz

Mate, dont rub it in, you and richard werent exactly driving sensibly at snetterton. And im not just talking about a small part of the track, im talking about 5 or more laps, when you guys didnt move over for the "faster car" behind you.

There is no need for bull... as far as I remember (it's been quite a while) I let U and every other fast car through as I don't believe in holding anyone up
If I unknowingly held U up, I apologise I don't believe there is room for two cars @ Russel or into the Esses
Strange U are having issues with that now, some few months after the event ???

Nothing to do with me, as it wasnt me you were holding up, just a mate who is very quick. It was mainly richard he moaned about, as it was the 2nd time at snetterton he wouldnt move out the way for him, even after being flashed. I remember last year, i flashed him for about 8 laps, and he wouldnt move out the way. I had to wait till his brakes and tyres got hot and he did a cool down lap to pass him.

Driving the Ring in the wet with 300 + BHP rear wheel drive takes some courage and consideration but it's fantastic for car control, something I believe from previous posts, U appreciate Semi slick tyre solution is the way to go @ the Ring in the dry
BTW Apology accepted

I dont mind the wet, but not at the ring. I used the TC, and it becomes pointless, and fucks up the brakes. I fully enjoyed Spa last year, when it chucked it down, and you couldnt see the car in front.
Go karting on slicks in the wet, is much more fun

Sounds like CSL envy For the record I use both of my arms/hands/legs to drive my CSL left hand for left SMG shift paddle and right hand for right SMG paddle + left foot trail braking and right for GAZ... so what's your real excuse
